26.40 Aries to 10 degrees Taurus

Krittika is the 3rd Lunar Mansion, occupying the last degrees of Aries and the beginning of Taurus. The Moon is exalted in Krittika, making its qualities extraordinarily powerful. Its symbols include fire and sharp objects, giving the Nakshatra its qualities of appreciation for action and even danger. This placement brings fortune in public affairs, projects, recognition, and earning.

The Sun Rulership

Krittika is an auspicious placement in the Sun. The sun's influence makes the Nakshatra a good place for attention seekers, actors, the flamboyant, and competitive natives. They rarely show outward insecurities; instead, they deal with emotions head on as to quickly deal with them. Its position encourages assertion, so Krittika is likely to be the center of public attention in a positive way. Associates of the Nakshatra Krittika receive large amounts of admiration; although, admiration possibly turns to jealousy in the more insecure.

Exaltation in the Moon

Krittika is also exalted in the Moon because of its comfort in independence. The Nakshatra Krittika turns to the self (Sun) for comfort; they do not rely on others for reassurance. Self-reliance shines best in a weak Venus and a strengthened Mars. Because of their self assertion, it's unlikely for this Nakshatra to marry someone more powerful. Instead, Krittika will be the more powerful spouse financially and emotionally; the partner will, instead, be dependent on them. However, the Krittika Nakshatra needs a large amount of attention, so it can be said that the Krittika native is dependent on their own partner for admiration.

Parents

The parents of the Krittika Nakshatra had completely different styles. The mother of this Nakshatra probably unintentionally ignored her child, starving the Krittika native of attention. On the other end, the father of the Krittika Nakshatra built his child on solid, attentive ground. The father's nurturing brought solid ethic, a need to obtain goals. For this reason, Krittika enjoys the center-stage on account of their father's praise.

Finances and support is a result of the father figure. The more feminine parent stays on the sidelines, more than likely nurturing the other children. The masculine parent of Krittika takes on the nurturing and discipline role, making them an idol in the eyes of the Krittika child.

How Mars Effects Your Motivation

A common and logical conception of Mars would be that ruling and exalted signs create ambition and motivation in the native. That statement is true, but fortunate signs are not the only thing creating ambition in the native. Many detrimental signs and aspects are at the heart of athlete's success, especially Mars in Cancer.

Major motivators include the 1st, 3rd, and 5th Houses. They represent outward expression, bravery, and hobbies, and if connected to the 10th House, they are a recipe for success. The 10th House will mold the native athlete's reputation, making them renowned and respected in their actions. Connected to the Sun is the eventual fame and recognition.

Solution: Mars Works Best Under Pressure

Without a direction, Mars is wild energy. Venus and Mercury may serve some purpose towards direction; Saturn serves patience; the Sun, giving an independent goal. The truth is, a fiery Mars results in too much energy and not enough direction.

Detrimental Mars placements need an outlet. Energy builds up in these placements due to too much feeling and not enough doing. Direction for a Mars in Cancer is not a convenience; it is a must. The Moon is connected to the needs and Cancer; what Cancer needs is found in its occupied planets. In the case of Mars, an athletic outlet makes the most sense.

Mars in Libra

Although the above rules also apply to Mars in Libra, strong Libra placements signify an actor more often than an athlete. There is also the possibility of the native being and actor and an athlete, or they may have failed in one only to succeed in the other.

​The Character

The needs of the Moon in Taurus reflect from the inner personality. They need personal gain; they need life's pleasures; they need affection. The overall interest of the Moon in Taurus revolves around their own possessions, the possessions of their children, the familiar, relations, and the easy. They greatly appreciate security whether they find it in people or objects, so one of their hidden ambitions may be a roof over their heads. Gentle people who don't roughhouse with their emotions get the majority of their appreciation.

These natives have generally solid morals, and they may even be seen as conservative. Pleasuring the senses is a habit. Collecting beautiful and peculiar objects is a habit. They are not the type to spend a lot of money in one spot. There is almost a promise of wealth in the native's later life because of their hording and penny pinching habits. ​
